So instead of TV watching, I have been looking for inspiration online for remodeling kitchens and bathrooms. How do I pick wall colors and cabinet colors? There are so many options. I would like to step outside my box and do something colorful and bold.
Maybe on the vintage side. I loathe rooms that are over coordinated. Our style is a little more eclectic and mismatchy (just made that word up). Kinda like that photo, but I want a little more colorToday I planned on sleeping in, that didn't work out. My landlord called me at 8am. Thanks for that. Then the people who tend to our lawn got here around 8:15 and I swear they stood outside the 2 windows in my room with 2 different but equally loud machines on purpose. It's like they knew I had to work until 2 am and were trying to wake me and Amelie up. They would be right outside the window, then walk away, then come back, then walk away....it was a never-ending cycle. I actually considered going outside and taking his weed whacker away from him. That always happens when I need a few extra hours of sleep. The lawn machines arrive, the phone calls begin and then I just can't get back to sleep.
Instead, I woke up and took Amelie to my aunt and uncle's house. They are having a garage sale fundraiser for the Susan G Komen 3 Day Walk. My aunt Kelly and cousin Josey are doing the walk. If you would like to donate to them, check out their team page, Just the Two of Us. My mom (a breast cancer survivor) and her sisters and my cousin all did the walk last year. That's my mom from the 3 Day walk in 2007. She did it twice.
It was fun, I haven't been over there for years and their house is so damn cute. We got a lot of really cute clothes for Ami and a pair of little baby Ugg boots. She was pretty good. She cried a couple of times, once because she was hungry and once because she was tired. By cry, I mean screamed with tears rolling down her face for 10 minutes. After I fed her she barfed all over my shoulder and on the floor. I smelled like baby puke the rest of the day until I showered at 7:30pm after our family walk (where we got caught in the pouring rain). I had just put her in a fresh outfit, which I immediately had to change. She went through 3 outfits and 4 burp cloths while we were there. Only 2 diapers though. Pretty standard. She slept almost the whole ride home, then slept more in her swing, until after Tyler got home from work.
Grandma's Marathon in Duluth is this weekend. We ran the half marathon last year. I was actually pregnant and didn't know it. Not super pregnant though, maybe like 2 or 3 weeks. I was pretty proud of us, we ran the whole way. It was one of the toughest things I have ever done. I felt great afterwards though. I decided I wanted to run the full marathon this year (which would be tomorrow), then I found out I was pregnant ( on July 13th, 2008). Our daughter was born March 23rd and I had to wait 6 weeks before I was able to resume working out...so that didn't leave me much time to train. Maybe next year.
I miss my cats today. Chip and Frank. I adopted Chip about 6 years ago and Frank about 2 years ago. We had to give them to a better home after we had Amelie. Don't judge, I never though I would part with my little buddies, but when they started peeing on Ami's things I changed my mind. Not only that, but there was always so much hair on EVERYTHING and Tyler always had a stuffed nose and bad allergies (which have since disappeared). We did a lot of soul searching and weighed our options and decided in the end that we couldn't give them as much time and love as they needed anymore. I still love them though, a lot. Shout out to Brittany for adopting Chip.
